Mariso Yutke, i love how the explanation used both Fahrenheit and Celsius lol

P, Fahrenheit is still used in the US, but Celcius has been used for decades in Britain. That's why both are explained here.

Stephanie.S., but they weren't explained, simply used. it made no sense. either stick with Celsius which is more commonly used, or give equivalents.

Mariso Yutke, they have meant a molecule of tin stats to change around 56 degrees Fahrenheit. But russian weather was much colder than this point. around - 30 degrees Celsius
